POE2 - Unable to Complete "Ascent to Power" in Cruel Difficulty

Same.

An6 fixes, this is happening to me as well.

same here , and the trials of chaos bugged too ;/

Ok. I fix it i think. Try to kill him in normal diff. Worked for me.

Same here and I am fairly sure this is because I killed Balbala before receiving the quest from Shambrin, guys.

Same thing is happening to me, very frustrating.

Same here.

Thank you. This makes sense and I figured it was something like that. So it's level 60 area and not level 60 character!

Have a good weekend and holiday!

Bugged for me too. But this article here makes it clear for me: https://www.gamepressure.com/newsroom/get-third-ascendancy-points-in-poe-2-ascent-to-power-cruel-search/zc7687
In a word, go check the ascension point description on a trial item and you'll get the idea.
But still, the quest is bugged since it fails to provide a clear guide.

+1 i was beginning to think i was a idiot, but atleast im not the only one.. hehe
